M. Wojcicki

Kwartalnik Historii Żydow > 2006 > 1(217) > 35-47

The picture of a Jew in Byelorussian folklore

A. Krotau

Kwartalnik Historii Żydow > 2006 > 1(217) > 68-71

The materials collected by students of Byelorussian folklore strongly confirm that anti-Jewish prejudice was rife in the pre-industrial Byelorussian society. The Jews living in the Byelorussian countryside mainly engaged in commerce and inn-keeping, and for this they were viewed as exploiters by the local peasants. These sentiments were fanned up by the Russian 19th-century propaganda, keeping alive...

E. Geller

Kwartalnik Historii Żydow > 2006 > 2(218) > 212-221

A. Ziebinska-Witek

Kwartalnik Historii Żydow > 2006 > 3(219) > 366-378

The authoress looks at the question of the presentation of the Holocaust in museums and monuments.
